It's not too hard really. I assume Poser Morph targets? Export and obj file from Poser. You want to export only the part(s) of the body you plan to morph. So uncheck everything else in the hiearchy editor... So far you should be doing the same stuff you do to make a morph target for any other application... To bring it into carrara you just open the obj file in Carrara. There's an option on the list of options that says '(needed for morph targets)'. I forget what the first half of it says and I don't have Carrara here at the moment... But it's the only option you want checked other than the default options that are already checked. Bring it in, select it and move to the modelling room. Don't add any vertexes. Just use the sphere of attraction tool. When you've got the shape you want export it to an obj file. You can use it as is as a morph target in Poser. The shape you made is the 1.0 setting on the dial. You might also want to open the obj file and remove all the lines that don't begin with a 'v'. This will cut the file size by as much as 2/3. WHich is a real good idea for memory and upload purposes.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
